If you love hot cheese, you will love this creamy beer cheese recipe appetizer. It is a homemade cheese dip that features a blend of delicious ingredients. Enjoy it with dippers like fresh bread, chips, veggies, or on a loaded hot dog.

Are you as much of a cheese fanatic as we are? Seriously, whomever said that cheese makes everything better was not kidding! There are few meals I make here that do not include cheese in some way, shape, or form.

I just love that there are so many varieties, and ways to enjoy some ooey, gooey cheese. Recently, this delicious beer cheese dip really made our days a bit tastier.

Ever have a recipe that you know you have wanted to make but sort of put it on the back burner? That was exactly the case with this beer cheese dip. I had some at a restaurant as an appetizer, and could not get enough!

After talking with a friend, I knew I needed certain ingredients I typically do not have on hand like powdered mustard. Once I finally remembered to pick it up at the market, I knew beer cheese was in my near future.

I have to admit, I hate beer…like loathe the taste…seriously. Call me a freak of nature but it is not my “cup of tea”. I do however love the flavor it gives certain marinades and in this case dips. My husband on the other hand is a fan and has tried hundreds of varieties throughout the years. I guess we balance each other out!

For this beer cheese dip recipe, you actually use a cheaper and more mainstream light beer which is easily accessible.

Beer Cheese Ingredients:

• 8 ounces of sharp yellow cheddar grated
• 4 ounces of Emmentaler Swiss cheese grated
• 6 ounces of light beer
• 3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
• 2 tsps. mustard powder
• 2 tblsps. flour
• 3 shakes of red pepper sauce
• 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

Make it:

Using a double boiler, heat beer, garlic, dry mustard, and Worcestershire until warm. Toss flour with grated cheese mixture.

Once beer liquid is warm, add 1/3 of your cheese and whisk until fully combined; repeat the process until all the cheese is fully combined.

Serve in a fondue pot, or in a serving dish and east immediately. This beer cheese dip goes well with crudites, pretzels, tortillas chips, or even bagel or pita chips.
